Just wondering if anyone who bought back years in June 2024 has had them registered on the system yet. Mine have been but hubby's still not registered. Did phone and money was received.
 
Paid in early May. Still not showing. I remember reading somewhere that it could take 8 months or so
 
Hi All, Just wondering about the timeline to see the back payments appear online ? I paid a lump sum on 01st July 2024 and still nothing showing. I did call and they have received it. I need to pay an additional lump-sum before deadline date, but I was hoping that I would see the first payment and years credited online, before I paid that 2nd in installment. How long did it take for anyone on this forum to see their payments appear online ?
 
Paid mine 26th of June 2024. They showed up as applied to my record on 2nd January 2025. I had been checking almost every day.
 
A relative of mine who rang the helpline this week was told that there is currently a 53 week timeline for online records to be updated.
 
I made 4 separate payments in June, july, Sep and Oct and they were all applied to my record last week at the same time.
 
Thanks ... For those of you that have seen the payments appear online, I presume that it appears on
https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/check-your-state-pension/account/nirecordDo they just credit it from the latest possible years forward . starting with 2006/2007 ?

I only have 4 valid full years from 90s ..

They will credit the years you want to pay for. On e you have your letter confirming class you pay and then I suggest ring them to tell them what years to allocate money to.
 
Just to give people an idea of the waiting time for payments to be registered -I sent my payment in early May 2024 using Revolut. When I checked on GOV.UK on 4th July 2025, the payment had finally appeared. My contributions are now correctly registered back to 2006.

That’s approximately 1 year and 2 months from start to finish.

I had checked the site the previous week and the payment still hadn’t been registered, so the 4th July date is fairly accurate .

I made my payments in 2 tranches Feb, this year and then on March 25th, a couple of weeks before the deadline. Checked the gateway last week and it's all uploaded, back to 2006. Didn't phone or write, just put Class 2 contributions in one of the comments boxes on the bank transfer.

My wife did the same and her record is not updated yet. I've sent a letter, for her this week, to allocate the payment.
I'm not sure there is any consistency in when they update these records. I suppose, unless you're retiring this year, it doesn't matter too much.
